Over the last few years a lot of the plants I have talked about are some of the new perennials. A close relative to poinsettia that looks NOTHING like a poinsettia is Diamond Frost Euphorbia. This is a new perennial from Proven Winners a organization that specializes in introducing new and interesting perennials.

I have one of these at home and it has been blooming for the last 3 months. As I get more experience with this I will report back. It likes the sun, is compact growing to about 12 or 18" with fluffy white blooms. A Poinsettia relative?? It hardly looks like one.
